Ukrainian women assume critical roles in war and reconstruction
Six Ukrainian women are undertaking diverse and critical roles as the country manages the ongoing war. These responsibilities span political, military, medical, and economic sectors.
In the political sphere, Member of Parliament Anna Purtowa focuses on issues regarding veterans, prisoners of war, and missing persons, suggesting that women will play a central role in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction. On the front lines and in training, former combat medic Lena Dembitska now instructs soldiers in tactical medicine.
Technical and humanitarian efforts include marine biologist Nataliya Dykul serving as a UNDP adviser for underwater mine clearance in the Black Sea, and Liliya Chertenko developing orthopedic footwear for war-related amputees. Other women are managing economic survival, such as Alina Maksymenko maintaining a cosmetics business in Kyiv and Tetyana Stramnova operating a goat farm near Kherson while caring for children with disabilities.
